KER® EO-3™, a rich source of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA in a palatable liquid form.
Horses are often fed diets composed entirely of grain mixes and hay. Such diets are rich in omega-6 fatty acids but extremely low in omega-3 fatty acids. If vegetable oil is added to the ration, it further skews the ratio, with omega-6 fatty acids being overrepresented. To help counteract this imbalance, horses should be supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids, the richest sources of which are fish oils.
Kentucky Equine Research developed EO-3™, a potent marine-derived oil that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. EO-3 is a palatable oil that is top-dressed onto the feed. EO-3 contains the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. KER has shown EO-3 to be highly palatable when compared to other marine-derived oils.
EO-3™ is intended to be fed to horses of all classes and working levels to improve the critical omega-3:omega-6 ratio in their diets.
Why chose Eo-3™?
- Palatable deodorized fish oil with mild apple with a slight minty essence.
- Improves glucose tolerance
- Strengthens immune function
- Increases red blood cell flexibility
- Enhances bone metabolism and development
- Benefits of DHA- and EPA-mediated inflammatory response include reduction in joint inflammation, allergic reactivity, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage
- Reproductive benefits include improved fertility, improved colostrum

Why chose Eo-3™?
- Palatable deodorized fish oil with cherry flavor
- Improves glucose tolerance
- Strengthens immune function
- Increases red blood cell flexibility
- Enhances bone metabolism and development
- Benefits of DHA- and EPA-mediated inflammatory response include reduction in joint inflammation, allergic reactivity, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage
- Reproductive benefits include improved fertility, improved colostrum quality, enhanced passive transfer of antibodies to foals, and increased sperm concentration, motility, and viability
- Marine-derived long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA are more efficiently used as precursors of local hormones than plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids
Feeding directions:
Growing horses, broodmares, and performance horses in light to moderate work daily: feed 30 to 60 mL daily.
Horses in heavy work, breeding stallions and those recoving from an illness or injury: feed 60 to 120 ml daily.
For best results, introduce EO·3™ to the ration gradually over a period of 5 to 10 days.um quality, enhanced passive transfer of antibodies to foals, and increased sperm concentration, motility, and viability
